초록

This paper explores a new point of view regarding the success of the Rudolf Wittkower's book Architectural Principles in the Age of Humanism. The goal is to demonstrate the influence of the book on the history of American construction. In order to show the link between the geometrical or mathematical principles – explored by Wittkower - and the application put in practice, the article analyses the work by Richard Buckminster Fuller, Konrad Wachsman, Robert Le Ricolais, Felix Samuely and Anne Tyng. The first part is dedicated to the fortune of the book Architectural Principles after the Second World War; the second one to the relation among geometry, form, and growth, compared to the link of geometry to structure and prefabrication, on which the third part is focused. At last the paper tries to show how "the changing concept of proportion" influenced the vision of architecture.
